I honest cant see any problem with a parcel that size myself......I know I've received parcels that are smaller than that!

I encountered a similar issue recently, l needed to post a 500mm by 100m roll of bubble wrap via Standard Parcels. The issue raised by the postmaster was not that it exceeded Royal Mails dimensions, but how it might not fit in the postman's van when he collects at the end of the day as he is only given a small van!!! He reluctantly accepted serving me as l argued that as l have not exceeded dimensions it is not my issue 'the customer' if the postman has a small van.

You're right mate it's not your issue, but.... this WILL have been left in the PO until the next days collection if it couldnt be fitted on the van. As it SP anyway and not time sensitive not too much of a problem but I have seen it happen myself when Ive been at the PO at last collection time

Collection driver "Wont fit in the van"
Postmaster "Just leave it, it can go tomorrow.."

You should have rolled it up first!

What do you wrap bubble wrap in to post it?
